Arkhemia Commission

[arsheesh]

Hi everyone,

Here is a commission I did for fantasy author V.R.Cardoso for his forthcoming novel The Dragon Hunter and the Mage: Wounds in the Sky Book 1. Although I've done many commissions in a photorealistic style, this was my first hand drawn commission, which was a nice change of pace. My client requested that the color scheme to be similar to the vibrant Dragon Age maps. I digitally painted the map in Photoshop Elements, labeled it in Inkscape, and did a handful of other things to it in GIMP. Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,
-Arsheesh

Beautiful work Arsheesh. I always enjoy seeing your hand drawn work.
The colors are splendid and your mountains and hills are so tasty and smooth.

This is great! I really like those watery/swampy/etc looking areas on the isthmus.
